Articles to buy

Tree Fruit has been in production for over a decade. In that time we have published articles of great interest to growers written by well known researchers, advisers and technicians. Here we present some of them to you.

Complete articles (including any photos, graphs, tables etc. that were published with the original article) are available as a PDF.

Purchase an article (as a PDF file) and it will be emailed to you. When you receive it, you can read it on your tablet, computer, or phone; and you can print it!

The proper angle of shoots or branches is an aspect of tree training which encourages formation of flower buds and fruit, allows for sunlight to penetrate into the canopy, gives structural strength to the tree, and directs growth within the young apple tree.

Pressurised micro-irrigation systems have largely replaced traditional flood and sprinkler irrigation in orchards and vineyards. These systems use microjets or drippers to evenly distribute water to individual trees. The choice of a microjet or drip system is often a difficult decision as it is rarely clear-cut.

Cherry trees are naturally vigorous and very upright. They are not willing to form spurs and lateral shoots on one-year old wood of leaders and scaffold branches, except at the tips of strong leaders where whorls of shoots develop.

Fresh water has become the most precious and essential input in the fruit industry. This finite resource is decreasing as a result of the drought, but also as increasing demand is being placed upon it by industry and human consumption. There has never been a greater need for irrigation practices…

One of the impacts predicted for climate change is milder winter temperatures. Most of our major fruit producing regions are planted with varieties selected to match the temperatures typical for each region. Low chill varieties for regions with mild winters, medium chill and high chill for regions with cold winters.
